Caps of Liberty: The Oddity of Democracy
Professor Rodney Barker · Gresham College
About
The oddity of democracy is that government by the people means that the same group who are the rulers are, at the same time, subjects. There is a continuing tension between democracy as workers' control, and democracy as consumer sovereignty.
